john o'farrell - may contain nuts

no, not a guess on the contents of highland's latest girlfriend's pants, but a highly amusing look at raising children in south-west london and the social pressures attached.
8.5/10

Got a few new bookson the pile to read at the mo. Brethren (Historical Templar based thriller), Do ants have arseholes? (interesting and largely useless questions), Clarkson And another thing (Jezza usual stuff), The Alexander Legacy (Thriller based on some workmen finding Alexander the Greats tomb) and Can a robot be human? (a book on very very basic philosophy)

Have just read a John Connolly novel "The Black Angel" and loved it ... hes written a series of Thrillers featuring a former policeman dectective who's wife and daughter have been murderered. I now have to back track and start with the first in the series, having been lent this book, which is about the 4th one hes written (not that it mattered). Would recommend to anyone who enjoys dark, slightly supernatural thrillers... this one had me hooked til the last word and kept me up all night finishing it!

I looked at Brethren in Waterstone's on Xmas Eve but was dragged away before I could buy anything!( I think Ben thought I was going to spend too much on books!)

You'll have to let me know what it's like.


I've gone back to reading The Iliad. Didn't get any books for Christmas which was a bit of a shock!:icon_eek:

Looking for my next good fix of footy related literature after finishing The 'Miracle Of Castel Di Sangro' and being pages away from completing 'A Season With Verona'

Any ideas?

Just read Richard Hammond's book. Amazing story, the guy is very lucky (and knows it) but showed tremendous recovery powers. Well-written book, mostly about the crash and his recovery with just a couple of chapters about his early years and how he got into Top Gear.

I used to really like him when he did his consumer shows, but I think he comes across as being quite arrogant since his accident.

Got that for Ben for Christmas, he's saving it for last to read after all the others he got.

He didn't get me any of the ones on my list though.....git!

Ive read the Hammond book as well. I think the bits written by Mindy are excellent and give a really good account of being on the other side of that type of injury. Id recommend it whether you like him or not, just remove yourself from what you know about him and take it as though it was a book about the injury and the recovery from it.
